MT Plugins
I have installed two Movable Type plugins.
Smarty Pants shows curly quotes (“”), en-dashes (–), em dashes (—) and ellipsis (…) to appear correctly.
Textile makes text formatting much easier and also creates ™, ©, ® and the proper times symbol in 3×3.
If you see any problems on how the blog looks on your browser, please let me know.

Yes, that’s true. I was poking around and I think whatever I could think of people have already made plugins, hacks, etc.

Note: Disagreements are welcome, but please keep it civil. Any comments full of hatred, bigotry, trolling or spam will be deleted and the commenter banned. Do read the commenting policy.
Valid XHTML: You have to preview your comment to make sure that it is valid XHTML 1.1. You will see the "Post" button on the preview page.
Urdu: To comment in Urdu, include "p[ur](urdu). " (with a space at the end and without the quotes) at the start of every Urdu paragraph. If you want to write an Urdu word(s) in an English paragraph, do it like this: %[ur](urdu)اردو%. If you want to put an English word(s) in an Urdu paragraph, write it like this: %[en](en)English words%.
PGP Signing: PGP-signed comments are encouraged. However, clearsigning Urdu text with GPGshell produces garbage.
MathML: Select the Textile with itex to MathML text filter. What you'll use is itex, which is a superset of WebTeX and differs somewhat from standard LaTeX.
Text Filters: For regular comments, whether in English or Urdu, keep the text filter setting to its default of Textile 2. Change it to Textile with itex to MathML when writing MathML.
Cool! I’ve got so many plugins installed that I don’t even remember what all of them are. It’s the plugins that really make MT great, I think, because they extend MT’s functionality so much.
